From the Magyarorsza'g megyei ke'ziko:nyvei 7:
"Szany is a "large community" ("large village
constituting an administrative division in Hungary" - from
the vocabulary) in Gyor-Moson-Sopron county in the Little
Hungarian Plain. "First it was mentioned in a document as
"Zayan" in 1398. It was registered as a borough. The St
Vendel Chapel was built in 1747 then in 1753 the St. Anne Chapel
that became a significant place of pilgrimage. The nave of the
three-towered church (which was enlarged in 1867) built in 1767
and the Bishop' Castle" (Bishop of Gyor) "in 1783 are
the most characteristic buildings of the community.
Szany is 18 km to Csorna and 20 km to Pa'pa on the road and
railway between Pa'pa and Csorna. The village has 2,369
inhabitants (only Hungarians; 1990 census). Szany was and is in
Gyor (1925-1950 Gyor-Moson United, 1950-1990 Gyor-Sopron, from
1990 Gyor-Moson-Sopron) County. Szany in 1427 is a borough. In
1594 was 120 family in the village, but the Turkish army
destroyed it. In 1619 was 16 family in there. In the end of the
19th century, Szany became community and in 1977 became
"large community".

I got the flag from Mr. and Mrs. Szabo'. Mrs. Szabo (Zsuzsa
Orba'n) was born in the village, but she couldn't give me more
information about the coat of arms. In the village is the church
with three tower, I think this is the church on the coat of arms.
The white wavy lane symbolises the Ra'ba River - I think.
